A game about a megalomaniac machine, a spaceship and lots of buttons! Everyone loves pushing buttons and seeing what happens, no? I used Haxe, SWFMIll, the GIMP, SFXR and Yoshimi (synth). The machine was running Ubuntu 10.10 and fonts came from Dafont.com. I used some of the utilities that I announced previously. I should be able to upload a timelapse soon.
I wasn't quite sure what I was doing. I started pressing buttons, and then I blew up. I don't think I discovered much. You're supposed to blow up, right?
Hahaha I think maybe the commenters are missing the point? Its like being hurled into the future on a starship and you see all these buttons flashing WARNING and you have no idea what to do oh god!! Fun game.
Decent concept, and the functionality was decent (I think?) if everything was indeed working, which I can't be sure of as the "game" is completely wonky. Fun? Not for me, but it was a nice idea. I like your use of audio! The polish and audio alone kicked my game's butt.
Good idea making discovery of what the buttons do the game ;) Still quite confusing, but here it's quite good. I'm not sure what happens when you "win". It seems for me when the image on the bottom right shows a blown circuit.
This reminds me of the Apollo VGC(sp)... very cool. Only thing is... Now I want a window to see space! Other than that, a really cool idea and well-executed for what it's supposed to be.

I think the reason people are having negative reactions is because of the psychological impact of being virtually killed several times.
I played it once and succeeded in doing this by doing random stuff.
